“Christopher Heuer’s Into the White is a pleasure both to behold and to read. The book thus offers a fascinating counterpoint to its very discussion of the Renaissance conception of the Arctic not simply as an anti-aesthetic site, but as a place utterly devoid of anything one could align either with or against normative notions of beauty. The Renaissance Arctic, as Heuer argues, thereby forced European witnesses to confront nothingness as a material reality.”
